Pages : 273

Book Description
Kids love origami—and what could be cooler than transforming a piece of paper into Boba Fett, Princess Leia, Yoda, or R2-D2? And not just any paper, but custom-designed paper illustrated with art from the movies. Star Wars® Origami marries the fun of paper folding with the obsession of Star Wars. Like The Joy of Origami and Origami on the Go, this book puts an original spin on an ancient art. And like Star Wars® Scanimation® and Star Wars® Fandex®, it’s a fresh take on Star Wars mania. Chris Alexander is a master folder and founder of the popular website StarWarsOrigami.com, and here are 36 models, clearly explained, that range in difficulty from Youngling (easy) to Padawan (medium), Jedi Knight (difficult), and Jedi Master (tricky!). A front section introduces origami definitions and basic folds. Bound in the back is the book’s unique folding paper, two sheets for each figure. Illustrated with original art, it makes each creation—the essential lightsabers, the Death Star, and much more—true to the movies. Star Wars Origami includes a foreword by Tom Angleberger, author of the New York Times bestsellers The Strange Case of Origami Yoda and Darth Paper Strikes Back, and is scheduled to be published at the same time as Angleberger’s upcoming book, The Secret of the Fortune Wookiee.

Galaxy of Origami Stars

Author: John Montroll

Pages : 0

Book Description
This collection teaches you how to fold 37 original origami stars, each from a single square sheet of paper. Great care has been taken to keep each folding sequence elegant. The models are amazing and striking, are enjoyable to fold, and can be used as awards and decorations, and on festive occasions. Several stars use both sides of the paper to highlight interesting color patterns. Duo origami paper, which has a different color on each side, is ideal for these models. Most of the stars are two-dimensional and a few are three-dimensional. Several sets of related stars are included. There are solid-color and two-toned models. The radiant stars each have an impressive alternating color pattern. The twelve-point star looks as if it was woven from strips of paper. The magic star resembles a model made from eight sheets, but is easily folded from a single square, like all the others in this book. Most of the designs are by John Montroll; several are by Russell Cashdollar. The models range from simple to complex, but not too complex. Clear step-by-step instructions show how to fold stars with varying number of points, shapes, and color patterns.
